Emma has been working with the Wye Valley River Festival team for five years photographing the action as it happens. Emma captures not just the festival itself but key creative events throughout the year. The River Festival team brings the community together and the very best of creative talents to celebrate the River Wye. Special times!

Emma is passionate about the ongoing working relationship she has with Wye Valley AONB. Raised in Yorkshire, and now living in the Wye Valley, Emma gets stuck into the great environmental projects. Cleddon Bog is just one of the many restoration projects to keep the Wye Valley as precious as ever.

Documenting and photographing the lives of people who live and work on the banks of the River Wye. This series and the stories is now a sell out book, River Voices is available to buy.

Funded by Wye Valley AONB and Heritage Lottery, Emma filmed a series of interviews and created a series of oral histories that are now available to view online and in the Shire Hall Museum in Monmouth. Oral Histories are vital to maintain a sense of presence and relevance to the buildings and places that shape the environments in which we co habit. Emma has a valued working relationship with Ruth Wyacott who has supported and worked with her on funding and interpretation over the years. Thank you Ruth!

During the pandemic the Wye Valley AONB funded Emma to continue to document the difficult and unprecedented times for people in the Wye Valley. From docters, nurses, farmers, and children kept off school for months on end. The lockdowns were recorded as both audio testaments and photographs which were mixed together and published online.

Working with The Gwent Wildlife Trust documenting and photographing the lives of the wonderful people who lives ands work on the Gwent Levels. A very special project that culminated with a photographic exhibition and series of oral history films and recordings.
